From Friends at Eurovision
With a look inspired by the 2000s, and a confidence that doesn’t betray her young age, Angelina Mango made Ariston dance. And he also made the audience cheer at home. Who, very young, has been following her since Friends. And who sees her father’s talent in her. The hope is that now, that same style, that talent and that enthusiasm will make her triumph at Eurovision too.
The text reviews the idea of boredom which, according to Angelina, should not be fought, but should be considered precious time to spend with yourself. Maybe, dancing on it.
Angelina mango, the lyrics of Boredom
“Boredom should not be fought: it is precious time to dedicate to ourselves. And in difficult moments, we must dance about it”: this is how Angelina Mango described her Boredom. The cumbia present in the song, in fact, is a type of Colombian popular musicwhich unites the black community with its percussion, the indigenous community with its flutes and the Spanish with their melodies and choreographies.
here is the text de Boredom:
How many drawings have I done
I stay here and watch them
Nobody comes to life
This page is lazy
I’m in a hurry
And they told me that life is precious
I wear it head high on my neck
My necklace has no pearls of wisdom
They gave me the colored beads
For little girls messed up with trauma
To be unraveled slowly with age
Yet I’m having an Easter look at zero drama
I almost change city again
That makes me stay still
It comes to me
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom
I die without dying
Used these days
I live without suffering
There is no greater cross
All we can do is laugh during these scorched nights
A crown of thorns will be the dress code for my party
It’s the cumbia of boredom
It’s the cumbia of boredom
Total
Ah, it’s the cumbia of boredom
The cumbia of boredom
Total
How many people see evil in things
It makes you want to run away as they start talking
And I would like to tell them that I’m fine but then they look at me badly
So I say it’s difficult to make a living
Business you talk about business
Meanwhile I close my eyes to sign the contracts
Princess calls you princess
So now stop washing the dishes
I die without dying
Used these days
I live without suffering
There is no greater cross
All we can do is laugh during these scorched nights
A crown of thorns will be the dress code for my party
It’s the cumbia of boredom
It’s the cumbia of boredom
Total
Ah, it’s the cumbia of boredom
The cumbia of boredom
Total
So do you write songs?
Yes, love songs
And I don’t want to bore you
But someone has to sing them
Cumbia, I dance cumbia
If I risk tripping at least I’ll stop the boredom
So I’m having a party, I’m having a party
Because it’s the only way to stop
To stop
To stop, ah
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom
I die because I die
It makes the days more human
I live because I suffer
It brings the greatest joys
All we can do is laugh during these scorched nights
A crown of thorns
It will be the dress code for my party
It’s the cumbia of boredom
It’s the cumbia of boredom
Total
Ah, it’s the cumbia of boredom
The cumbia of boredom
Total
Total
